Passion Overseas: A Billionaire BWWM Holiday Romance (12 page)

“
I
meant it when I said I loved you,” he said.

“
I
know,” she smiled and nodded.

“
So,
then you know that I would go to the moon and back for you, right?”
he said and she nodded. “Then you know that I will sell my soul
if it means that’s what I have to do in order to make this
work,” he said in a soft voice. He stood up and walked up to
where she was. “I promise you,” he added in a whisper as
he put his hands on her waist.

“
That
sounds really good,” Erica said in a soft voice. He looked at
her and tugged at her towel making it drop to the floor. She looked
at him as she pulled her towel off revealing her curls.

“
Your
hair…” he started.

“
Yeah,
this is what it looks like without the curling irons and the hair
dryers,” she said as she touched one of her curls. “Why?
You don’t like it?” she asked.

Daniel smiled and
shook his head.

“
I
love it,” he said in a soft voice. He slipped his hand behind
her neck and looked into her eyes before he lowered his head and met
her lips in a long deep kiss. She let her hand slip down to his waist
and pulled off the towel. He took a step forward and held her against
his damp body as he kissed her even deeper.

“
Do
you have condoms?” she asked in a whisper when he began kissing
her neck. He nodded and pulled away from her. She sat on the bed as
he walked to the closet and took a condom from his bag before he
walked back to the room. He looked down at her as he rolled on the
condom. She knew he was probably wondering why she was asking him to
put on a condom yet she had let him cum inside her just days before.
But he didn’t want to bring that up, not right now. She spread
her legs and looked at him as he climbed onto the bed. She could
almost feel her heart beating hard in her chest. She was breathing
hard as she looked up at him, hovering over her as he brought his
face down to kiss her. He let a hand slip down to feel the wetness
that was her opening. It was too good for her to keep silent. His
lips were on hers as he began pushing himself into her. She exhaled
into his mouth and tightened the grip around his shoulders.

“
You…you’re
so tight. Are you okay?” he asked as he looked down at her. She
nodded and looked up at him. “Sure?”

“
I
want it. I want this,” she said as he began working more of him
inside her. She spread herself wider and laid back, trying hard not
to tremble under him as he moved in and out of her, slowly and
surely. She was feeling herself stretching more and more to
accommodate his length and every moment she felt him go deeper inside
her was making her unravel.

“
Oh
baby,” he murmured as he moved in and out of her. “What
have you done to me?” he was moaning as he went on fucking her.
He loved the way she felt around him. She was such a perfect fit for
his larger than life cock and he was almost crying out as he moved in
and out, harder and harder; each thrust deeper than the last. She
held him tightly as she felt herself close to her end.

“
Oh
God…Daniel,” she moaned as she struggled to get herself
in check.

“
Come
for me, baby. Just let go,” he moaned into her ear and that was
it. His words were her undoing. She cried out and felt herself
releasing all around his cock, coming apart into a million little
fragments underneath him. He was not close behind. He suddenly called
out her name and thrust hard into her as he emptied himself into her
waiting pussy. She was panting when she finally felt him go rigid on
top of her. He kissed her softly as she felt him pulling himself out
of her. She looked at him panting. It was like every time with him
was a whole new experience. He looked at her and smiled before he
brushed off his hair from his face. “So, condoms, huh?”
he asked, still breathing heavily. She nodded.

“
I
know with last time…” she started before she took a deep
breath. “That was already taken care of. My…aunt Irma
already visited,” she said. He frowned for a few seconds and
then it hit him.

“
Oh
Aunt Irma,” he said nodding.

“
But
we have to visit a clinic, soon,” she said. He nodded. “You
know just so we can officially be in a committed monogamous
relationship,” she added.

“
Isn’t
that what we have been doing?” he asked.

She smiled. “You
heard me say officially, right?” “Whatever you want,”
he said as he looked at her. “I will go to the moon and back,
remember?” he asked again. She smiled and nodded as he got off
the bed. He kissed her softly and began walking towards the bathroom.
But somehow, even after that crazy session of lovemaking, he couldn’t
shake the fact that Erica had been right. They needed to figure
something out.

Erica was nervous as
she and Daniel rode in the cab to the hospital. She was having second
thoughts but something told her that she was just antsy. It was just
the fact that she was getting into yet another relationship. The last
one had ended so badly that every time she thought about it, she just
wanted to cry out. She looked at Daniel and took a long deep breath.

“
What?
You okay?” Daniel asked as he brushed off a curl from her face.

“
Just
getting a strange sense of déjà vu,” she said as
she looked out the window. Daniel took her hand and squeezed it
gently.

“
Hey,”
he started as he brought her hand to his lips. He kissed her hand
softly. “Hey, look at me,” he said as he looked at her.
“I am not Eli. I am nothing like him.”

She smiled as she
looked into his eyes. She knew he was right. He was absolutely
nothing like Eli. He didn’t even come close to what an asshole
Eli was like. She forced out a smile.

“
I
know,” she said in a soft voice.

“
Good.
Then don’t worry,” he said with a smile. “Or are
you having second thoughts?” he asked as he raised one eyebrow
over the other.

She shook her head.

“
I’m
just really scared. Things are moving so fast and…” she
never got to finish that sentence. Daniel had leaned over and claimed
her lips in one long, lingering kiss.

“
Well,
things may move fast but I am most definitely enjoying the ride,”
he said in a whisper. She looked into his eyes and smiled. Even with
the jet lag and exhaustion in his eyes, she could still see the
honesty in his eyes that made her relax. “I love you,” he
said in a soft voice.

“
I
love you too,” she replied as she looked at him. Just then the
cab pulled up in front of the hospital. “Are you ready for
this?” she asked.

“
Yes.
Are you?” he asked with a smile.

“
Yes,
I am. Let’s just go,” she said as she climbed out of the
car. Daniel climbed out of the car and followed her into the hospital
after paying the cab driver. “So, how is this going to work?
Healthcare in a foreign country?” she asked as they walked to
the reception.

“
I’ll
handle it,” he said with a smile.

“
Done
this a lot, Mr. Reese?” she asked with a smile.

He nodded and she
frowned.

“
I
mean getting sick abroad, not what you think,” he said. “Or
what I think you are implying,” he added with a frown. “Hi,
we would like to see someone about getting tested.”

“
Fill
this out, please,” the receptionist said as she handed Daniel
two forms. The two sat down and quickly filled out the small
questionnaire before handing them back to the receptionist. “Have
a seat and someone will be with you shortly,” she added. Daniel
looked at Erica as they sat down.

“
Times
like this I really miss home. You know, doctors you know and stuff
like that,” he said.

“
Oh
yeah. My OBGYN would definitely like to see me,” Erica said
making Daniel frown. “It’s a joke we have. She says that
the only action she gets is when she sees her patients,” she
added with a smile.

“
How
old is she?” Daniel asked.

“
Not
so old. She is actually quite a looker but she has not been very
lucky in love, lately,” she said. “At some point, we’d
both given up. And then I met you,” she added looking into his
eyes.

Daniel smiled at her
and took her hand in his. He could tell that she was nervous from the
way she was breathing and looking at him. It seemed like forever
before the receptionist finally called their names.

“
Daniel
Reese and Erica Hayes,” the receptionist called out. Daniel
looked at Erica who was taking a deep breath and then stood up. “Do
you want to go in together?” the receptionist asked. Daniel
looked at Erica and nodded.

“
That
sounds really good,” he said as he looked at her. He shifted
his attention back to the receptionist and smiled.

“
This
way,” the woman said as she led them down a hallway to a room.
As they sat down, Erica couldn’t help but frown at the smell.
She had always hated the smell in hospitals. She could never quite
get whether it was the drugs or just the whole damn building. She
always wanted to barf any time she was around a healthcare center but
what she didn’t know was that this time round, it was not about
the smell but what they had gone there to do in the first place.

“
So,
Erica and Daniel,” a man said as he walked into the room.
“American, judging by your surnames,” he said sitting
down. Daniel nodded and Erica smiled uncomfortably. “I am Dr.
Gregorio Castillo,” he said with a smile. Erica could not help
but notice how much of a heartthrob he was. He looked like he had
been pulled right out of a telenovela.

“
Hello,
Dr. Castillo. My girlfriend and I would like to get tested,”
Daniel said. Dr. Castillo raised an eyebrow.

“
Together?”
he asked. This time, Erica was the one who answered.

“
Yes,
together. I…we think it’s better this way,” she
said.

“
That
is very strange. Most couples like having the test taken separately.
You must really trust each other,” he said.

Daniel looked at
Erica and smiled.

“
We
do,” he said.

“
Well,
there are a few questions I have to ask first,” Dr. Castillo
said. Erica took a long deep breath and Daniel squeezed her hand
reassuringly. “Let’s start with your age,” he
started.

“
Twenty
eight,” Erica said.

“
Thirty
one,” Daniel said. Erica looked at him and smiled. She had no
idea how old he was until now.

“
And,
how many sexual partners have you had in the last two years?”
he asked.

“
Two,”
Erica said.

“
Three,”
Daniel said. Erica was not sure she wanted to know who the third
woman was.

“
And
how many times have you had unprotected sex in the last two years?”
Dr. Castillo asked as he scribbled something on his clipboard.

“
Two,”
Erica said.

“
Same
here,” Daniel said. The doctor looked up. “Two, I mean,”
he said.

“
And
have you been showing any kind of symptoms? Rash maybe? Burning
sensation while urinating?” the doctor asked.

Daniel shook his
head. “No.”

“
No,”
Erica said in a soft voice.

“
Okay.
So, how would you feel if you tested positive for HIV?” the
doctor asked. Erica frowned and shook her head.

“
I
don’t know…I would probably go back to the States and
shoot my ingrate ex in the head,” she said. Dr. Castillo’s
eyes grew wide. “I’m kidding of course…but I don’t
know what I would do if that happened,” she said blinking back
a tear. She never really thought about that.

“
If
you have such thoughts, I would be inclined to withhold your
results,” he said. She looked at him and then at Daniel. She
didn’t know how she was supposed to answer such a question. She
looked at the doctor and shrugged.

“
I
am blank, honestly. I don’t know how to answer that,” she
said. The doctor looked at her and then at Daniel.

“
What
about you? What would you say if I told you if I told you that you
had the HIV virus?” Dr. Castillo asked.

Daniel shrugged.

“
Like
her, I really don’t know what to say,” he said.

Dr. Castillo took a
long deep breath.

“
You
are making it so hard for me,” he said.

“
After
all this years, is there any answer that would shock you? Because I
have absolutely no idea what we are supposed to say,” she said
as she looked at the doctor. “What about you? What would you
say to that question and do not dare tell me some bullshit about
being the bigger man and taking the high road,” she added. In
her eyes, you could see the anger she had for the doctor. The doctor
smiled at her and then shrugged.

“
Perhaps
I should just go ahead and take the test,” he said.

“
Please,”
Erica said. There was more sarcasm in her voice than she had
intended. She looked at Daniel and exhaled loudly. “I’m
sorry,” she said in a whisper. Daniel squeezed her hand again
and smiled as the doctor tied the cord around her upper arm.

“
Make
a fist for me,” he said. She made a fist and waited to feel the
prick. When it finally came, she shut her eyes tightly and whimpered
a little. “All done,” the doctor said untying the cord
and securing the vile with her blood. “Now, Mr. Reese,”
he said as he prepared a fresh syringe. Daniel rolled up his t-shirt
as Erica pressed a piece of cotton to her arm. “The blood work
will take a few minutes. Luckily, the lab is not busy today,”
he said.
